The Proposal
Okay, I am absolutely sorry that I haven't updated since forever. I am just really busy and it's hard for me to find some time to update. I hope you enjoy this chapter and hopefully I will update as soon as possible. Please review!
Prim POV
"Ugh, why does school have to start tomorrow?" I groan, as me and Rue lie in our beds after shopping.
"I know right. I'm so tired." Rue replies.
I sigh. "Didn't Rory look cute today?" He did look cute today actually...
Rue sits up and looks at me. "So wait. That means you like Rory then?" Rue questions.
I sit up also and shrug. "I don't want to really worry about him and Trent."
"For now..." I hear Rue say in a sing-songy voice.
I smile. "So, how's Josh working out for ya?"
Rue blushes and waves it off. "Let's go put our new clothes in our closet."
I groan, but do so anyway.
Rue then smiles at her phone. "Prim, we're going somewhere after school tomorrow."
"Where?" I ask, curiously.
"Um, uh, we're going to the movies." Rue replies and smiles at me creepily.
"Okay!" I reply. I love the movies!
After we finish unloading our shopping bags, we go to dinner.
"I am so hungry." I tell Rue as we're in the elevator.
"Yeah, me too! I wonder what's for dinner." Rue replies just as the elevator doors open.
We exit the building and walk to the hall. We open the doors and immediately, we are greeted by the chatters and numbers of people in the hall. Ahh, I miss this place... Rue and me go in line for food. It's hamburgers for dinner. Once we get our food, Rue and I see walk to our usual table and see that there's no one there yet.
"I wonder where is everyone..." I say to Rue, who's putting ketchup in her burger.
"Eh, they'll come sooner or later." Rue replies.
I put ketchup in my burger and start to eat. Hmmm, I am so hungry. Then, Katniss and Madge join our table. Shouldn't they be with Gale and Peeta?
Rory POV
Gale, Peeta, Gloss, and me are in Gloss and Josh's room, writing on post-it notes. Gale is writing on my desk, Peeta is sitting on the floor while leaning against Gloss's bed, Gloss is lying on the floor, and I'm on Gloss's bed. The post-it notes may take long, but it's worth it... Josh and Trent are watching a movie in Atala and Portia's room. They said it's better if Trent doesn't know about the proposal. Then, Katniss and Madge are going to eat dinner with Rue and Prim! Everything is going to so perfect! Wow, I sound like a girl...
"Uh, Rory? Whatchu thinking about?" Gale asks me, smiling.
"Hmmm? Oh nothing.." I reply, and continue to write on the post it notes.
"Someone's thinking about Primmm..." Gloss whispers.
"OOOO!" Gale and Peeta shout.
I roll my eyes. "Whatever."
"Peeta, Gloss, you know what I'm thinking, right?" Gale says. Whaa...
"Yeah, you know what I feel right now?" Peeta asks. What the hell is going on?!
"I think I feel a song coming on!" Gloss shouts.
My eyes go wide. "Guys, you don't-" I get off by their off-key singing.
They shout, "AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME! WE WON'T BE STARVING! WE WON'T BE HOMELESS! WE WON'T BE BROKE!"
Someone, please just kill me now...
"Guys! Shut up!" I shout.
Gloss, Gale, and Peeta start cracking up, laughing. They're retarded...
Prim POV
After dinner, Rue and me go back to our room.
As we're in the elevator, I ask Rue, "Where was Rory, Atala, Trent, Gloss, Josh, and Portia?"
Rue shrugs. "They said they had to do some stuff for school tomorrow."
I nod. We enter our room and I collapse on my bed. Rue laughs.
"What homeroom do you have tomorrow?" I ask Rue.
Rue sits on her bed. "I have Haymitch."
"Me too!" I yell excitedly. "Then, I have History, English, Math, then snack, then Science, and Literature!"
Rue looks at me weird. "Did you like memorize your whole schedule? Eh, you probably did. Well, I'm going to take a shower!" Rue says and leaves to the bathroom.
I decide to get my pajamas out, so I can be ready to take a shower when Rue is done. After that, I lie on my bed and text Gloss.
Prim: Hi
Gloss: Hola senorita!
Prim: Whatcha doing?
Gloss: Just stuff! #nbd
Prim: ...okay? y weren't u at dinner?
Gloss: cuz...
Prim: Y? I thought u were my brother...
Gloss: I am! I just had something :D
Prim: Like kissing Atala? ;)
Gloss: *puke* that's incest!
Prim: So, y weren't u at dinner? I know u can't miss an opportunity on food!
Gloss: ...
Prim: Gloss!
Gloss: Fine! I had diarrhea, okay! My butt hole felt like it was on fire!
Prim: Oh em gee...
Gloss: Yeah, I tried to like poop it out, but it wouldn't come out! I was constipated! Then, when it came out, I was like phew!
Prim: O.o I know we're close, but tmi...
Gloss: You asked...
Prim: Well, i'm going 2 go shower now! Bye and good luck with your diarrhea!
Gloss: Byeee and my diarrhea says thank u!
I put down my phone on my side table by my bed. That was the weirdest text conversation I have ever had...
"Who were you texting?" Rue asks me as she exits out of the bathroom.
"Gloss." I reply and grab my pajamas.
"About what?" Rue asks.
I shiver. "You don't want to know..." I leave to go take a shower.
After my shower, I see Rue sleeping already. Hmm, I guess she must be really tired. I brush my hair and then head off to bed.
I'm in a red room with lit candles everywhere. Someone opens the door and Rory comes out of it. Rory walks closer to me and I start to back away. "Prim, I have liked you for so long." Rory tells me. I keep backing away. All of a sudden, a voice shouts. Trent walks into the room. "Don't listen to him. I'm the right one for you." Trent says. I keep walking backwards, but then I hit the wall. Rory and Trent both walk closer and closer to me. Then, a sound of ringing echoes throughout the room.
I wake up to the sound of Rue's alarm clock. I see Rue is still not awake, so I shut off the alarm myself. I walk over to Rue's bed.
I shake her. "Rue, wake up! We have school today!" I yell.
Rue opens her eyes. "Geez, you didn't have to yell."
I smile and walk to the bathroom. I splash my face with water and start to brush my teeth. Rue walks into the bathroom and brushes her teeth too. After I'm done, I go to my closet and pick out my clothes. I put on a light turquoise long sleeve shirt then push the sleeves up to the mid of my forearms, a pair of light washes boot-cut jeans, and a floral belt. I see Rue walk out of the bathroom and walk to her closet. I go to my drawer that's beside my closet and pull out a pair of socks. I put them one and then put on my black converse.
I stand up and see Rue wearing a rosy pink top under a half zipped-up black jacket with dark skinny jeans with her boots.
Rue looks in me in awe. "Prim, you look so cute and pretty!"
I laugh. "So do you."
I grab the brush that's on the top of my drawer and remove all of the tangles in my hair. Then, I see Rue easily put her hair in a high ponytail. I walk into the bathroom to fix my hair. I part it to the side of my head and the waves of my hair fall below my shoulders. I look in the mirror and that my top brings out the color of my blue eyes. My hair isn't frizzy today, which is weird but I like it! Hmm, I actually look pretty for once. I walk out of the bathroom and see Rue on her bed texting. I grab my phone and see that's it only 7:02. We have to be at homeroom by 8 o'clock.
"Rue, you want to go to our lockers? I need to put some of my books inside before we go to breakfast." I say, as I stuff my phone in my pocket.
"Sure! I need to put some of my stuff in my locker too!" Rue replies and gets off of her bed.
I grab my binder, two notebooks, pencil bag, and some packs of folder paper. Rue does the same. We walk out of our room and head down the elevator. I see Rue looking really excited.
"Rue, why are you excited?" I ask her, as we exit the dorm building.
"Oh, I just really want to see, um, After Earth! I hear it's a good movie!" Rue replies.
I leave it after that and we walk through the hallways, to our lockers. We find our lockers and open it and put our stuff on the shelves. We slam our lockers and walk to the dining hall, passing a few students. We enter the hall and see that there's not a lot of students. People like to sleep in rather than eat breakfast. Rue and me go in line and receive tater tots, a bagel, and orange juice, but instead of juice, I get water. We walk to our usual table and see Gloss and Josh are already there. I sit next to Josh and Rue sits next to Gloss. I toss a tater tot in my mouth and take a bite of my bagel. I look up and see all of them smiling at me.
"Why are you guys smiling at me?" I ask them, after I swallow my bagel.
They look down at their food and murmur, "Oh, nothing."
"So, where's everyone else?" I ask.
"Atala and Portia are sleeping in. And oh look! Rory and Trent are walking in right now!" Josh says and turns his head to Rory and Trent, who are in line for breakfast.
"Aww! Prim, you look so cute today!" Gloss gushes at me.
I roll my eyes. Gloss is always fascinated when I wear dresses because I look like a little doll apparently.
"I know right!" Rue includes.
I toss a tater tot in my mouth and take sip of my water.
"And her top really brings out the color in her eyes!" Josh says.
I almost spit out my water when I hear him say that. That boy has problems...
"Omg! And your-" Gloss doesn't finish his sentence because Rory sits down next to me and Trent sits next to Rue, in front of Rory.
"What's up?" Rory says to everyone.
"Oh, we were just talking about how Prim looks so cute and pretty today!" Josh says and winks at me.
I glare at him.
"She does look beautiful today." Trent says and smirks at me. I blush.
Josh, Gloss, and Rue start to laugh. I roll my eyes. Then, I feel someone's hot breath against my ear. It's Rory. "You look absolutely perfect right now." Rory whispers to me and slightly touches my hand under the table. I blush even harder. Then, Rory whispers to me again, "You look cute when you blush." I bite my lip, trying to hide my smile.
"What homeroom do you guys have?" Rue asks.
"Haymitch." Everyone replies.
"Yay! All of us have the same homeroom!" Gloss shouts, earning some of the attention in the hall.
All of us laugh in reply.
After breakfast, all of us head to our lockers and meet up again in homeroom. We all try to go our separate ways, but all of us head in the same direction. We're at our lockers and are surprised just at how close our lockers are. Of course, Rue's and mine is next to each other. Rory's is just one locker away from mine. Trent's is three. Gloss is one away from Rue. Then Josh is one away from Gloss. All of us laugh. We grab our stuff from our lockers and head to Haymitch's. When we enter we're the first ones there, so all of us head to the back of the classroom. Rory sits next to the left of me. Trent sits on the other side of me. Josh sits in front of me. Rue sits in front of Rory and Gloss sits in front of Trent.
After school, I head to my locker and neatly put my books on the shelf. When I close my locker, I see Rue leaning against the locker next to mine.
"Geez, creeper much?" I laugh.
Rue rolls her eyes and grabs my wrist, dragging me somewhere.
"Where are we going?" I ask her.
"We have to get you ready!" Rue says and we enter the dorm building.
"For what? We're just going to the movies." I say confused.
"Well, that, uh, doesn't mean you can't look even more pretty!" Rue replies quickly.
We enter our room and Rue grabs the chair from the desk and makes me sit in it. Rue runs into the bathroom and walks out with a curling iron. She plugs it in near the desk. Then, Rue runs to my closet and pulls out a lavender floral dress.
"Put this on!" Rue says and tosses it to me.
"Uh, okay?" I reply and walk to the bathroom.
I take off my clothes and put it on. The sleeves stop right at my shoulders and the collar of the dress is a semicircle that loops right above my bust. The dress hugs my waist nicely and slightly flows out above my hips and ends at my mid-thigh. Where did I even get this dress? Rue probably must got it. I walk out of the bathroom and Rue smiles at me. She then tells me to put on these light darker shade of green sandals with a small heel. I sit back down on the chair and Rue starts to curl my hair.
"Why are you doing this?" I ask Rue. "It's just the movies."
"I have my reasons." Rue replies. "By the way, there's something at your locker."
"What?" I ask.
"Yeah, I think it's a letter or something from your mom." Rue replies.
"Oo! Okay!" I smile.
After Rue is done curling my hair, she begs me to put makeup on me.
"Why?" I ask her again!
"Because!" Rue says and pouts.
"But, I don't like mascara and eyeliner! They hurt my eyes!" I say.
"How about I just curl your lashes, put a little bit of eye shadow and blush, and lip gloss?" Rue says.
I give in. "Okay, fine."
Rue squeals and starts to curl my lashes. After that she dabs a little bit of a rosy pink onto my eye lids. Rue brushes a little bit of blush onto my cheeks and finally, she puts on lip gloss. When she is finally done, Rue squeals again for the thousandth time of today!
"Prim, you look really pretty. Go to the bathroom and look!" Rue tells me.
I walk to the bathroom and I can't believe who I am seeing right now. My curls land right below my shoulders and in the back, it bounces right below my shoulder blades. My blue eyes are noticeable and my cheeks are slightly rosy. It doesn't even look like I have makeup on, but my face shines. Rue walks into the bathroom.
"It's almost 5. Go to your locker." Rue tells me and smiles.
I nod and walk out of the room and walk to the elevator. I finally exit out of building and walk into the hallways. As I head to my locker, some people smile at me and give me compliments says how lucky I am. What does that mean? I shrug it off. I get to my locker and see that there's a pink post-it note on it. Follow the post-it notes and await your surprise. What's happening? I decide to do so and follow the neon color post-it notes across the lockers. I smile at some of them as I'm walking because they say You got that smile that always brightens up my day; I like everything about you... I walk along the hallways, earning the grins of people. The trail of notes then lead me to the gym. A basketball lies on the middle of the court with a note on it. I walk to it and it says You're almost there :) I see another trail of notes starting from the back door of the gym and I walk to it. Next to the gym is the library and I walk across the entrance of it. Then, two people walk past me with post-it notes on their backs. One says You have that laugh that makes me smile. The other one says You're shy but I like that. I blush again and keep following the trail of notes. I keep following it and then I hear music playing.
I smile at the lyrics,
"The day we met,
Frozen I held my breath.
Right from the start,
I knew that I found the home for my heart..."
I reach the end of the trail by the entrance of the court yard. The last note says, I'm in the courtyard -
I smile and take a huge breath. I walk into the entrance and find someone, but his back in facing towards me. I start to walk towards him and then he turns around. His grey eyes meet mine. It's Rory, holding red roses. I smile when I look at Rory. He's wearing unbuttoned black suit with a white v-neck underneath, jeans, and converse. I smile once more when Rory starts to walk to me too. We finally meet and Rory gives me the flowers.
"You did all of this for me?" I ask him.
"Of course I did. You're the most beautiful girl I have ever met, Prim." Rory tells me, while putting his hand on my cheek.
"But, why?" I ask him and give him a hug.
"Because..." Rory doesn't finish his sentence because we notice how close we are to each other. His face is only a few inches away from mine. Rory leans in and I lean in too. Our lips touch and Rory smiles into it. I feel the spark and I don't ever want it to stop. I wrap my arms around his neck and Rory wraps his arms around my waist. We finally pull away, but our foreheads still touch.
"Will you go to the fall dance with me?" Rory asks me.
"I would love to." I reply and Rory kisses me once more.
All of a sudden, we hear cheering. We turn our heads to find all of our friends and even Katniss and her friends. All of them smile at us and cheer. Even Trent smiles at us. Me and Rory just stay in each other's arms, smiling at each other.
